Come August 14 and all BJP MPs will sport the RSS Shakha Vesh (assembly dress code) – white kurta payjama and a black cap – and line up for a baudhik (lecture) by RSS’ number two, Suresh Bhaiyaji Joshi. It’s not very usual that a top RSS functionary holds such an interaction directly with party MPs.<br /><br />His address to BJP MPs, in the lawns of the Aurangzeb Road bungalow of parliamentary affairs minister M Venkaiah Naidu, comes at a time when a RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has trigged a controversy by crediting people and ‘not an individual’ for NDA’s return to power at the Centre. The hour-long lecture will be followed by a spread of vegetarian dishes from coastal Andhra Pradesh.<br /><br />The BJP sought to play down the event saying a central office bearer of the RSS meets party MPs for Gurudakshina every year where MPs contribute to the RSS’s kitty. But a party leader said this was not a Gurudakshina event and attains importance in the backdrop of the BJP’s return to power and Bhagwat’s recent remarks.<br /><br />“Joshi’s address will mostly be about how the BJP MPs should live up to the expectation of the people who voted for the party like never before,” a BJP leader said.<br /><br />The RSS brass is walking an extra mile to put in place a mechanism for better coordination between the party, the government and the Sangh to avoid acrimonious scene – a common feature during the previous NDA regime under Atal Bihari Vajpayee.<br /><br />The RSS, which came to the aid of the BJP during the Lok Sabha elections, is understood to be keen to see that elections promises are delivered before a sense of disenchantment sets in. “All this will be reflected in the Sarkaryavah’s (RSS general secretary’s) speech,” another BJP leader said.<br /><br />23 Lok Sabha MPs and eight others from the Rajya Sabha have been appointed Gatnayaks (group leaders) to coordinate with other MPs to attend the programme – in the prescribed dress code.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />For More information on this news visit: http://www.itvnewsindia.com/<br />For More information on this news, visit: http://www.indianews.ind.in/<br />Connect with us on Social platform at: http://www.facebook.com/IndiaNewsTV<br />Subscribe to our You Tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/itvnewsindia<br />Connect with us on Social platform at: https://www.facebook.com/pages/India-News/371196196360607
